A BISHOP LAMENTS MAD WORLD.
"It is a mad world. No woader babies refuse to be born into it," says the Bishop pf Goulbourn, the Bt. Eev. H. Bqrgman, in his diocesan letter for April. ' ' Human folly continues to pile up mountains of sorrow for the human race. Europe is supposed to be the most enlightened part of the world but it now appears more like a suicide club on a large scale than a culture looking with confidence to a distant future. Here in Australia we dope ourselves with sport and amusement and gambling to enable us to forget. They stop us from thinking about disagreeable things but they are only large-scale dope which keep the majority of citizens from taking any serious interest in the urgent problems of citizenship. "
